Joe,
After reading your review of the BassPro White River Classic that you mentioned in the Shootout thread, do you know if BassPro is keeping that reel in their line up? I was on their website the other night and it wasn't listed online. It would be a shame if this model was dropped. I think the Classic UL is the best combination of capacity, light weight, and smooth drag you can get for the price.
For what it is worth, I've crammed a Cortland Sylk DT3 on this reel, but it's a tight fit. A Rio Selective Trout WF4 overstuffs the reel. The capacity is exactly the same as an Abel TR-Lite, but the WhiteRiver is almost an ounce lighter.
